What is The Laser Technology Used for Carbon Peel Treatment?
The foundation of the carbon peel treatment is utilizing a Q-Switched 1064nm Nd:Yag laser technology. Not every Q-Switched Nd:Yag is appropriate for carbon peeling. Many companies try to copy the carbon peeling treatment but the laser needs to be designed to provide the treatments. The Lucid Q PTP laser is one of the only a lasers in the world which offers correctly designed technology to perform the carbon peel laser treatment. For a laser to have the ability to perform the treatment correctly the laser needs to have Quasi-long mode and standard Q-Switched mode. The carbon peel treatment requires 2 passes of the treatment area, first pass is with Quasi-long mode, secondary pass is with the standard Q-switched mode then vaporizing the carbon gel off the skin. Once the carbon gel is vaporized off the skin with the secondary pass is what defines the “peel” effect.
How does Carbon Peeling work?
During a laser carbon peel, liquid carbon is first applied to the skin. The carbon will absorb oil and other impurities while it sits on the skin. Following this, a laser is used to remove the liquid carbon and the impurities it absorbed. The laser uses long wavelengths that can penetrate deep into the skin without damaging the surface. This in turn will promote healthy skin cell turnover and a smoother skin texture.
